The Auto Center is a very reputable and trustworthy group of mechanics! We’ve been taking our cars there for about six or seven years and they’ve always done great work and we’re very honest with us about what needed to be done. Highly recommended!

Steve was awesome to work with! Excellent service and very accommodating

Great service and customer interaction

Greg and his team took care of me and my jeep. Would recommend auto center to anyone looking for a new mechanic!

I have an 09 F150 that's 16 years old now... Knew it was in need a new serpentine belt and shocks/struts replacement and wasn't looking forward to it. Typically I DIY but it's cold out and I wanted things done right. I went online and scoured reviews for a good mechanic for quite a time and came across The Auto Center. They had excellent reviews and were close so I thought I'd give them a ring. Spoke with Greg (owner/operator) on the phone and he said he could get me in the next day, well ok! He was very straightforward with me and found all the things I mentioned with an additional issue on the brakes which I had suspected but wasn't sure on. Called me after he found the new issues and sent me a quote via text. We spoke a couple of times before we settled on how to proceed. He wasn't pushy at all and explained what needed to be done and why. In one day everything was done and I was out the door with excellent service and a reasonable price. I'll be back if I need more work done and I'm glad to recommend them to anyone!


Feb 06, 2025

Greg and his staff did a wonderful job on the work needed for my car. I would recommend their service 10 out of 10 times.


Feb 06, 2025

The Auto Center is efficient and reliable. They got the job done just when I needed them, they also offer financial support which brings a sigh of relief.


Feb 06, 2025

Great people who do great work I most definitely recommend they will not disappoint


Feb 06, 2025

Great, friendly service!


Feb 06, 2025

I would highly recommend The Auto Center to anyone. Absolute professional mechanics and the owner Greg is a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. He’s went well above and beyond in helping with my vehicle including picking up my vehicle at my home and giving me a ride to my house. I'm a very happy and satisfied customer and am blessed to have Greg take care of my SUV.

Best place to take your car.

Finally... It's been a while since I've had a mechanic I felt I could trust with my vehicles. I have two aging Toyotas 16-17 years old and either mechanics want to replace everything or don't want to work on it at all. Frustrated, I attempted some repairs myself with middling success, but with five kids, a career, aging parents and volunteer work, I don't have the time to mess around. I had heard good things about Greg and The Auto Center and saw reviews saying they aren't afraid to work on somewhat older cars. I also found out they sponsor the local HS choir program of which my daughter is a part, so there's that too. So, I brought in my car that was giving me fits. They did a full work up checking all the major systems of the car so that we know what all issues there are. Man, there was a lot wrong, but the majority I already expected because I knew there were issues. The bill was high, and I was concerned because my job had been sold to another company and I didn't know what was going to happen with my income. Greg was very understanding and discussed different options and recommended the few things he felt should be prioritized until the finances could handle more. The work was done quickly and drives much better. I will be having the rest done here in the near future. Unfortunately another vehicle decided to stop blowing hot air on one of the coldest nights of the year and shortly after I discovered the spring on my front strut had broke. Time to call Greg! He went through the same process and has my vehicle up and running after quite a bit of work. However, on the drive home, dash lights came on. Called Greg in the morning and he said bring it in right away. A few hours later he discovered what the issue was and made the necessary repairs gratis. Thankfully my financial situation is better known and I was more comfortable with the costs (which were substantial, but fair). Otherwise I likely would have taken him up on the financing arrangement they offer through a third party. I appreciate Greg because he doesn't just tell you what is broke/needs fixing, but takes the time to tell me what is wrong. Further, his crew has shown they have the know how to troubleshoot problems where other shops just kind of shrug or guess as to the problem. They get it fixed. And if something is wrong with the repair I have every confidence they will take care of me. Well done guys! There's just nothing like having a good mechanic you can trust. By the way, they are not open on Saturdays. While a minor inconvenience, I respect that. It's a bold move for a small business, but it shows Greg cares for his crew. People need time off.

Garage is clean and environment is pleasant ,friendly and any work is always prior approved. This is the second car that I have allowed Greg's Auto Center to service.


Feb 06, 2025

Great service as always. Always on top of the challenges of my vehicle. I call TAC my vehicle doctor.


Feb 06, 2025

Greg, And his crew of guys were all very polite.Greg explained what was wrong with my Jeep Cherokee and how much the cost to fix. I trusted them with my vehicle and I have been very happy with their work on my SUV.


Feb 06, 2025

I had a great auto experience at the Auto Center if you need any mechanical work done go see them at the Auto Center


Feb 06, 2025

They are experience mechanics that you don't see very often and very courteous.


Feb 06, 2025

Thorough inspection, timely work and friendly, informative interactions.

I was in need of a new mechanic. The guy I have been going to for years relocated too far for me. So, I spent hours looking at reviews & making phones trying to find a place. Finally, I came across The Auto Center. I'm so glad I did!!! The reviews were amazing, the commination was wonderful, & the service was even better! Greg & his workers are absolutely top tier. I dropped my car off around 8:15am by 10am, they knew everything my car needed. By 2pm my car was done. I highly recommend them!!! Overall 10/10!

Great place. Greg did what he said he would do and did it well. Thank you Greg and staff

Just had another great experience at The Auto Center! Had tires installed at another shop, because I didn’t realize The Auto Center was now doing tires. The other shop found one of my front springs was broke and gave me a quote of $1200. They wanted to put $100 struts on my truck and charge me $315 for them. No thanks. I called The Auto Center and they were able to get me in the next day. Dropped off first thing in the morning they had both front struts and some other things done around 12:30. Greg and his team are great. The only negative I have from this experience, which is honestly just a personal preference, but when I walked in the building to pick up, I was hit with a cloud of cigarette smoke from the guy sitting at the desk and had to stand there trying to breathe while the he searched from my paperwork. Thankfully, Greg walked in right behind me and knew exactly where my paperwork was so I could get out of there. Like I said, personal preference. Keep up the great work!

This place has truly helped me. Greg Hearl will definitely work with you with great quality. Jeremey

Honesty take care of his customers. Communication and explain what going on what needed no bs. I have trust issues and this will be our go to shop and I recommend anyone else to do the same.


Jan 10, 2025

We have been taking our Mini to TAC for several years. Always in and out the same day, and all repairs are explained in detail. Very happy with the service we receive every time.


Jan 07, 2025

Great customer serverice, quick response time, worked on my foreign imported car, efficient communication, and affordable price. Greg helped me out with my German imported 1992 Ford Sierra GT. There were no American vendors with parts. Greg was still able to provide repairs to my car with the acception that I provide the parts. I brought the car by early in the morning with an hours notice. He had the car looked and a quote in my inbox the next morning before I even woke up. Had a three day turn around for repairs. I was blown away. Great shop. Will be using this shop in the future if there are any issues.


Jan 07, 2025

Great service at fair prices. Checks vehicle over. Gives free good advice always learn something from Greg. I trust them


Jan 07, 2025

Greg and crew are always reliable, trust worthy, fair, and quick to get the job done right. As a woman, it can be hard to trust mechanic shops but they have earned my business repeatedly. Definitely recommend!


Jan 07, 2025

Greg and his team are wonderful! They work quickly and effectively. I have gone here for multiple car issues and they are able to find the issue and fix it within the day, if not a few hours. Greg makes sure you understand what the problem is and how to address it/prevent it in the future. He also works to give you the best, most reasonable price. I would highly recommend the Auto Center to anyone needing a reliable mechanic!


Jan 07, 2025

I brought my car into The Auto Center because I was concerned about the quote my dealership gave me. The Auto Center was able to repair the issue (vs a full replacement that was unnecessary). They also did a full inspection of the car and discovered the issues. The owner walked me over to the car and pointed out the things that were wrong. I was very pleased with the speed, quality, and price of the service.


Jan 07, 2025

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service provided to me. The work was done efficiently, the pricing was transparent and affordable and above all the employees were exceptionally kind and hardworking. As someone who is fairly naive to cars, I very much appreciated how the employee explained each repair to me in good detail, explained all my options and gave solid advice. I can tell the people at this shop are honest and good. I will most definitely be advising all my friends and family members to take any and all car issues to the auto center.


Jan 07, 2025

Not only did I receive a very fair price for the work done on my suv, I was also previously misdiagnosed by another shop. My issue was not only listened to but truly heard. Then they took my suv for a test ride and let me know the real issues and other minor issues they could foresee. Bottom line all our auto work will now be done here. I’m very grateful for the time, attention, and looking out they did for me Greg was who helped us and he was fantastic.

Cannot say enough good things about Greg and his crew at the Auto Center! They went above and beyond to help make sure our daughter’s car was repaired and safe to drive. And believe me, this car had issues! They are easy to communicate with, timely and run a fantastic business based off good wholesome values. I know Greg has a “treat others as you’d like to be treated” mentality and it shows in his care for his customers and community. This is how all business owners should treat their customers! You will not regret doing business with The Auto Center!! Call now, get your oil changed, breaks done, general maintenance… you wont regret it.

Huge shout out to the guys at The Auto Center - Southeastern Ave! Took my van in yesterday and it’s already done. Thank you Greg, and all of your staff for working so hard before the holidays. 😁 Please go see them for your auto needs, they support FC Schools & the FC choral department!


Dec 07, 2024

It’s always a pleasure to deal with Greg and his very talented crew! They are always so friendly and do such a great job every time! I highly recommend them!

We have had several vehicles repaired or serviced with Greg at the Auto Center. Their work is top notch and always completed on time. Prices are always within reason. They even drove my wife home when I was not available to pick her up. They have completed everything from oil changes, to replacing headlights, to fixing a major problem with our fuel system and replacing shocks and struts. Greg and his crew are very knowledgeable about most vehicles. They will give you their honest opinion on whether or not the repairs you need are warranted or needed. If you are wondering whether or not to use the Auto Center, do not hesitate to bring your vehicle there.
